DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Create in us a true longing for You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BORDER: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has stopped adjudication on all immigration and naturalization cases from 13 nations and placed partial restrictions on 6 others. Citizens of these countries are now cut off from attempting to seek asylum, get green cards, or become U.S. citizens.
EVERYDAY HEROES: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=844645504642265 [:37] to see first responders in West Virginia pull a truck driver to safety after the 18-wheeler skidded off a snow-covered highway, leaving the cab dangling off a bridge nearly 100 feet above the ground.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING: Who could resist this 20-piece set of beard ornaments! (Besides me, I mean.) Sixteen of them are jingle bells; the other four light up.
MEDIA: NBC’s coverage consisted of the following single sentence within a White House roundup segment – “Federal prosecutors have charged dozens of people in Minnesota’s Somali community for allegedly stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money meant for social service programs.”
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Free our nation from all forms of corruption. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
THANKSGIVING: Andrew Wolfe has woken up and giving his nurses a thumbs up. He is also able to wiggle his toes. Great news, but he remains in critical condition, so keep praying please.
GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1oItOwb1eeQ LOL. This reminds me of when Mama Buzz was that age and we were going to visit Dearest’s very conservative, easily offended grandparents. I tried to talk with her about how we would never EVER ask Grandfather if he had a penis. She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the bathroom, informing me that “penis” is a potty word.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless the American bishops and Pope Leo with a broader and more accurate understanding of our battle to save our country. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1191212856257538 to see extraordinary footage of what happened to a man who tried to break into a Tabernacle. Stay to listen to the priest’s important message after. I’m sorry the thumbnail is so hard to see.
EPSTEIN: [7:30] – “It’s not like they were 8 year olds.” That reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg saying it wasn’t that big of a deal that Roman Polanski had drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl, because “It wasn’t rape rape.” CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1341929594065803 [1:56] to hear why we still support Trump.
EVERYDAY HEROES: When it was their turn to have pictures taken with Snow White, Brody was having an autism meltdown. His mom writes, “Snow White was absolutely amazing with him! She kissed, hugged and cuddled him. He was laying his head crying on her lap. She then took him for a walk away from the crowd. She was amazing. She held his hand, danced with him, took him over to a bench and sat with him. She went above and beyond! She took so much time with him and was a pure angel! She was simply magical, and my family is forever thankful and touched.”
FLOOD MANAGEMENT: Fascinating! [26:12] – Where I live, flooding is a given. I never thought it would be a problem in the high desert. I know this one is long, but I was riveted, so maybe you will be also. 🙂
ICE: On November 9, Akhror Bozorov (31) was arrested while he was driving an 18-wheeler in Kansas. In 2022, Bozorov’s native Uzbekistan accused him of having ties to terrorists and issued a warrant for his arrest. He fled to the U.S. where, in February 2023, he was arrested by Border Patrol attempting to cross the border.
Despite the fact that his home country has labeled him a terrorist, the Biden administration granted him authorization to work and released him. Then Pennsylvania, under Gov. Josh Shapiro, gave him a Commercial Driver’s License. Cuz, yeah, terrorist illegal aliens should totes be operating 18-wheelers on America’s highways.
Even worse, Bozorov’s driver’s license has a REAL ID star on it, meaning he could use it to board a domestic flight or enter a secure federal facility or military base. Cuz, why wouldn’t we want to give terrorist illegal aliens ready access to high value terror targets?
According to the TSA website below, only someone who has met “all federal regulations that establish minimum security standards” can get a REAL ID. Riiiiiiiiight.
LIFE: I have never understood abortion for terminally ill fetuses. If the only life they get is in the womb, then let them have every minute. And let them die peacefully, not torn apart or burned to death. I have personally known two women who received the devastating news that their babies would not live much beyond birth. Both carried to natural delivery and never regretted it.
PHILATELY: I definitely want one of these for my collection! The origami crane has long been a symbol of hope, peace, and healing. The stamp was designed using a photograph from the Peace Crane Project. The following is from their website –
“The Peace Crane Project invites every student on the planet to fold an origami crane, write a message of peace on its wings, then exchange it with another student somewhere in the world. The Project builds friendships, strengthens hand-eye coordination and writing skills, teaches geography, exposes students to new languages and cultures, and EMPOWERS YOUTH to make a difference in their community, country, and world. Classrooms, teachers, students, schools, community groups, and individuals are welcome. It’s FREE to participate!”
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Pour out Your Spirit of reconciliation upon every community in our great nation. Let forgiveness flow like a river and love mend what hatred has torn. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
TRUMP SHOOTER: [7:18] – Miranda Devine reports that the Biden FBI lied to Congress and the American people about what the shooter’s online history revealed. After the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, PA, then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks’ online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology.
However, Crooks’ accounts on YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo, Zelle, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com and Quora showed that, while he had briefly been pro-Trump, he had switched sides, becoming radicalized and increasingly obsessed with political violence. All of this happened under his real name. There’s simply no way the FBI didn’t know it when they told us the exact opposite.
GRAMMY NOTES: When our #2 enlisted, she had a college degree, so could have gone to OCS immediately. Saying that, if she was ever going to lead soldiers, she should first be a soldier, she chose instead to go to regular boot camp as an E-1 Private. When she met her husband, she was a Specialist and he outranked her. Despite knowing it would mean she would not only outrank, but also outearn him, he encouraged her to follow her dream. When she graduated from OCS, I couldn’t be there to see him give her her first salute, so watching this clip was doubly special for me. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pOcNYFBS3qc and maybe grab a tissue.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask that You will grant us each a clear understanding of how important our final years are in Your sight. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
CATHOLIC: Powerful words! Make time to hear them with all your mind and heart. [21:09] – In a world that often neglects the elderly, Cardinal Sarah reminds us that God never forgets His faithful servants. Our lives continue to have meaning and our presence still carries a divine assignment.
DARWIN WAS WRONG: [14:26] – Dawkins and Meyer remind me a lot of other left-wing and right-wing apologists. On the left, we see sneering, personal attacks; on the right, we see calm and rational logic.
EPSTEIN: [7:36] – And people wonder why the files weren’t released during the Biden administration?
MICHELLE: CLICK https://x.com/MrReaganUSA/status/1989538382720970765 [1:01] to hear this hyper privileged woman whine about how persecuted she is. “Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out CURLY. When we straighten it to follow YOUR beauty standards, we are TRAPPED by the straightness! That’s why so many of us can’t swim, won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It’s exhausting, expensive and takes up so much time!! Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get outta our hair?!” — Michelle Obama
Are we also responsible for her decision to have her black nose caucasized? This woman needs Jesus.
PANTS ON FIRE: CLICK https://x.com/amuse/status/1989620769459245191 [:16] to hear AOC falsely state that Trump had a “close personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.” What is horrifying is that AOC can lie and slander so glibly. The emails prove the opposite. In fact, they show top Clinton and Obama officials were Epstein’s friends and associates.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We pray today for those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome that they will seek You and find peace and eternal life. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
SCAM CENTER TASK FORCE: [27:30] – U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro explains what the Trump administration is doing to protect us from Chinese crypto-scammers.
SHUTDOWNS: [8:16] – Today’s Democratic Party does want the United States to fail.
TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1989391689136681001 [2:00] to hear a psychotherapist talk about the 75% of his patients who are “hyper fixated” on Trump. “This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” Colin Rugg posted, “Pray they find God. Politics is their religion and it’s all they have, which is why they have mental breakdowns when things don’t go their way.”
GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AckSKU6IX24 to see what Stella did. A commenter posted, “Kid had a strong spirit, she will go far in life.” Indeed! On her first time out on skis, our #2 took off down the hill before we’d taught her how to snowplow. She face planted into a snow drift at the bottom of the hill, got right back up, and wanted to go again. She is now a wife, a mom, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. military. :-)<3
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Prepare us now for when You return. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BBC: Last week, The Telegraph reported that the BBC’s premiere investigative program, the longest-running in the world, deceptively edited Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, to make it seem like he called for violence at the Capitol.
Both the BBC Director General Tim Davie & News CEO Deborah Turness have been forced to resign. Trump’s lawyers have also sent a letter to the BBC, demanding the network retract “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about Trump that were “fabricated and aired by the BBC”
“Failure to comply will leave President Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to recover damages for the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that the BBC has caused him to suffer, with all rights and remedies being expressly reserved by President Trump.”
CATHOLIC: Please pray a Hail Mary for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.
CORNELL: Cornell University has agreed to pay the federal government a $30 million fine over three years and the DOJ has agreed to stop investigating all the ways the university has violated federal civil rights laws. Federal grants (about $250 million) to the institution will thus be unfrozen.
N.b., I chose the graphic above because it shows the building where Dearest and I first met in January 1979 and where we were joined in holy matrimony on October 13 of that same year.
EVERYDAY HEROES: “Mister, I miss my sisters,” my youngest said that first night. My name’s Marcus, and I grew up in foster care. I still remember the night they split me from my little brother, Aaron. That sound of him crying through the wall never left me. I promised myself that if I ever got the chance, no kid would go through that again. Years later, I became a foster parent. The first children who came were three brothers—Jayden, Malik, and Noah. They were polite, quiet, and scared to unpack. Then I found out they had two sisters, Ava and Chloe, living in different homes across town. That same night, Jayden looked up and said those words: “Mister, I miss my sisters.” I started calling everyone I could—social workers, agencies, judges. I begged until all five kids could live under one roof. The day they walked through my door together, the house finally sounded like home. When the adoption became official, all five stood beside me in court. I looked at them, and I told them, “You’ll never be apart again.”
FIFTY-YEAR MORTGAGES: “This just means your house will be owned by the bank until you die, and after. We don’t need 50 year mortgages. Get the illegal immigrants out of our country. Give America back to Americans.” ~ Matt Walsh
NYC: “Mamdani is going to run out of other people’s money much faster than other communists … because people in NYC are allowed to flee.” ~Nick Freitas
OBAMACARE: [5:17] – Democrats are blaming the sudden and very steep rise in Obamacare premiums on Republicans. But Republicans opposed Obamacare from the start. The shutdown during Trump’s first term was their attempt to scuttle it before it did irreparable damage to our health care system. The Obamacare premium subsidies, which are expiring, were also voted in by Democrats with the expiration date they’re now blaming on Republicans.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord Almighty, we place our nation under Your mighty protection. Defend our borders, our cities, and our people from every form of danger—whether seen or unseen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
PROGRESSIVES: These are the people who keep saying MAGA is a cult.
S&G: One of the largest branches of the German Protestant church has defended a pastor after she blessed a relationship between four men and declared the “polycule” was married “in the eyes of God.”
The event occurred at a “pop-up wedding festival” at the St Paul the Apostle church in Berlin which was offering free blessings for those who wished to avoid “lengthy formalities.”
The pastor said, “You could see right away that there was so much love between them. Why should God have anything against there being four of them rather than two?”
Maybe for the same reason He should have everything against treating marriage like it’s a sideshow carnival attraction.
TENNESSEE: [:35] – In addition to locating and safely returning 101 missing children as of Sunday, Nov. 9, the U.S. Marshals Task Force has arrested 2,342 individuals on various charges, clearing more than 1,000 warrants in 41 days.
DAILY PRAYER: Eternal Father, We offer You today the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Your Son in atonement for the sins of all the world. Amen.
CATHOLIC: [8:10] – This is a good explanation for why our devotion to Mary is biblical.
COLORADO: Abortion is not only legal in Colorado at any and all stages of pregnancy, it is also explicitly protected as a right in the Colorado state constitution.
MINNESOTA: In June, during a Minnesota House of Representatives floor debate over Medicaid eligibility for illegal migrants. Democratic State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her said, “I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country. I tell you this story because I want you to think about who it is that you are calling illegal. My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here.”
Later that day, the state representative told a local news outlet that she and her parents were actually American citizens and that she had made the stunning claim in an attempt to inspire empathy from her GOP colleagues. In other words, she lied.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Merciful Father, Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and create in us clean hearts. Help our leaders and citizens to seek You with sincerity and truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
SECRET SANTA: [7:44] – Another good one. “I’ll do my best to pay it forward.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz keeps a prayer art journal. Above is the page she made after meditating on this quotation from St. Josemaria Escriva. “God is calling you to serve him in and from the ordinary, secular and civil activities of human life. He waits for us every day, in the laboratory, in the operating theatre, in the army barracks, in the university chair, in the factory, in the workshop, in the fields, in the home and in all the immense panorama of work. Understand this well: there is something holy, something divine hidden in the most ordinary situations, and it is up to each one of you to discover it.” (FYI: Papa Buzz is an active duty military man who has been tasked to fight wild fires on a number of occasions.)
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Teach us to be still and know You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
DEMOCRATS: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has announced she will not seek her 21st term. S’about time. She’s 85 years old! She has been one of the people who helped the globalists move our nation from Reagan to Mamdani. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1986094352951541858 [:24] to get what I mean.
HEALTH CARE: CLICK https://x.com/RealLindellTV/status/1986193403562893789 [1:13] to hear Hakeem Jeffries blame Republicans for the messes Obamacare and their open border freebies created. Democrats never have to take responsibility for the messes they create.
I truly hope all y’all who need to sign up for a new Medicare plan have an easier time of it than we did. They’re swamped and their computer system is glitchy. It took TWO HOURS. We already knew what plan we wanted before we called, so it was just a question of filling out forms. Two. Hours.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, End the shutdown and save us from socialism and Sharia. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
SECRET SANTA: [5:06] – Another good one.
SHUTDOWN: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/39banyQwmWk to hear Sen. Kennedy describe the two bills he is placing before Congress today. Legislators work for We the People. Their JOB is to do the budgets on time. How DARE they shut down OUR business, because THEY did not do their jobs!! How much more offensive that they continue to draw salaries while the rest of the employees either work for nothing or are on furlough?!?!?!?!
TALK TO THE HAND: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Rz2icYySZDg to hear a short discussion about the real meaning of compassion. Decades ago, I went to a clergy sexual abuse survivors retreat. The woman who specialized in this grueling work called this “entering into your darkness.” I think Jesus’s parable about the lost sheep speaks to this. So do the Works of Mercy. I’ve suffered from people doing this to me, but to be fair, I have also been in a few situations where I had NOTHING spare to offer someone who was hurting and had to push them away to protect myself.
WORST BOOK REVIEW EVER: Free Beacon’s review of Karine Jean-Pierre’s new book is so bad that Glenn Beck read it word-for-word on his show. It starts, “Karine Jean-Pierre can’t stop making history. Earlier this year, the former White House press secretary became the highest-ranking openly queer, French-born black woman with a hyphenated surname to publicly renounce the Democratic Party for being mean to Joe Biden. She is the only black female lesbian immigrant to publish a book about her time in the Biden administration. It is the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language.” You can read the rest at the link.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Send Your Holy Spirit on all those You have called to preach Your Word. Protect them from harm and keep them in the center of Your will. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BALLROOM: If the president were a Democrat, they’d be calling the change historic, visionary, and long overdue.
EVERYDAY HEROES: When Navy sailor Douglas Hegdahl was captured during the Vietnam War and thrown into the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison, he pretended to be clumsy, slow-witted, and illiterate. His captors gave him freedom to wander around the camp, because they thought he was too simple to be a threat. He memorized the names, capture dates, and conditions of 256 of his fellow prisoners, setting the information to the tune of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” which he sang silently in his head, day after day, so he wouldn’t forget a thing.
All of the POWs had agreed that no one would accept early release. However, when the North Vietnamese offered to send Hegdahl home as a propaganda stunt, his fellow prisoners told him to go. His “Old MacDonald” information was some of the most valuable intelligence of the war. He later attended the Paris Peace Talks and confronted the North Vietnamese with his firsthand information about the mistreatment of prisoners.
MILITARY: Secretary of War Pete Hesgeth has directed the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and its strike group to augment Trump’s war on drugs in Central and South America.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Remind us always that the only downsides of not praying are record levels of anxiety, depression, addiction, and loneliness. In Jesus’ Name, we PRAY. Amen.
SNAP: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be broke as of Nov. 1. If you’re able, google “food pantry near me” and donate. Every food pantry will be getting heavy traffic this month as low income families struggle to get through the Schumer Shutdown.
FYI: Ours has recommended that, unless we already have something, we donate cash rather than buy food to donate. Reason being, they can buy food for less than we can.
TRUMP: Libtards’ latest rant is, “He’s not leaving!” Puh-leeze. The man is a BILLIONAIRE with a gorgeous wife, wonderful family, a home and hobbies he loves. He is working for us, taking zero salary, but you’re sure he’s not leaving? We’re lucky he’s willing to do this for four years.
VIRGINIA: CLICK https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1981885818764464151 [1:17] to see an undercover video from Human Events purporting to show Maame Ama Deegeb, a Spanberger campaign organizer, giggling and rolling her eyes about the murder of Charlie Kirk.
EVERYDAY HEROES: On July 15, while driving on Interstate 75 near Resaca, Georgia, Hugh Cox passed out behind the wheel of his SUV due to a diabetic coma. His 10-year-old grandson, Drake, was the only passenger in the car.
As the SUV drifted into another lane on the high-traffic highway, Drake quickly called his mom. She instructed him to climb onto his grandfather’s lap, take the wheel, and carefully brake. Using the little driving experience he had from farm tractors, Drake managed to steer the SUV safely for nearly a mile, pulling it off the highway and calling for help.
Because of his courage, quick thinking, and bravery, Drake saved his grandfather’s life and prevented a potential tragedy. To celebrate his actions, local police honored him with the Citizen Service Award on his 11th birthday.

Grok says, “The Republican bill—formally the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 (H.R. 5371)—is a ‘clean’ continuing resolution (CR). It extends federal funding at current fiscal year 2025 levels through November 21, 2025.”
PORTLAND: [12:07] – I think my favorite part is the geriatric hippie ukelele choir.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Awaken our nation and bring us all to our knees. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
SHUTDOWN: [12:17] – The Democrat bill reminds me of a toddler who threatens to hold his breath until he DIES if he doesn’t get what he wants.
UNCLE TOM: [3:59] – The true story of the hero of the book and of how his name was turned into a slur.
GRAMMY NOTES: The Mascots live on a military base. Yesterday, at five pm, Mama snapped this shot of Buzz pausing his lawn mowing chore to put his hand over his heart for the national anthem. ❤
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You in ALL circumstances and in Jesus’ Name! Amen.
ASTROTURF: [4:48] – Independent journalist Nate Friedman has revealed the link between a professional protester and the Democrat Party’s fundraising platform, ActBlue.
EVERYDAY HEROES: “’You’ll ruin your future,’ my dad said when I told him my girlfriend was pregnant. My dad was loud about it, but rent was louder, so I grabbed night shifts and kept my classes. Emily—then my girlfriend, later my wife—and I rented a tiny place off campus with thin walls and a secondhand crib that creaked when I rocked it. I printed notes at 2 a.m., packed bottles at 6, and pushed Lily’s stroller past freshmen yawning on the steps. A professor frowned at the stroller; I stood in the back and finished the presentation while Lily colored on my handouts. When daycare fell through, I studied in the parking lot while she slept in the backseat, and the dashboard clock blinked. On my graduation day, I held Lily in one arm and my diploma in the other; Emily cried and laughed in the same breath. Twenty years later, Emily squeezed my hand, I held flowers, and we watched Lily cross that same stage.”
LITERACY: I saw a post on Facebook about a “book vending machine” in a school and had to google. I’ve never heard of them before. Kids can buy books with tokens they earn for good behavior. What a wonderful idea!
POST TRAUMA GROWTH: Yes! We had to CHOOSE to USE the trauma to become who we are now. And then we had to work our butts off to make it happen. But for me, the choice was a no brainer. I mean, if you get stuck in mud, would you just sit there forever?! No, you get out and get the help you need to move past it and live again.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Fill our leaders with Your wisdom and lead them in justice and truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
GRAMMY NOTES: [3:08] – Years ago, my mother decided to make a bouquet of the last roses of the season in her garden and take them to a woman she knew at the local TB sanitorium. When she walked in the door, the woman burst into tears saying, “Today is the 9th day of my novena to St. Therese!”
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, On this feast of St. Therese of Lisieux, let us ponder deeply how we can each find the Little Way You have chosen for us. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
EVERYDAY HEROES: Student Anna Villines saw a janitor pull an orange from the trash and she realized how much food was being wasted at school. She said, “It struck me that people were hungry in our own school, and here we were throwing away food that could be used.”
She talked to the principal about donating untouched food to a local pantry. That, she learned, wasn’t possible. “He said it would be a violation of health regulations and could affect federal funding for school lunches.” She then learned about a school in Africa where they had set up a community refrigerator where students could place uneaten food for others to take.
A refrigerator was purchased by the school and now it is stocked daily by students who place their unopened fruit, milk, and packaged items inside instead of throwing them away. And by the end of most school days it is empty – people stopping by it to snag something to eat.
“I feel comfort knowing that students in need are able to grab food on the go and nothing gets wasted.”
KARMA: Overwhelmed with righteous indignation, a leftie Karen forgot to put her car in park before getting out to yell at ICE agents making an arrest of an illegal alien in Upton, MA.
MICHIGAN: On September 28, a gunman killed at least four people and injured at least eight more inside a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints chapel in Grand Blanc. He then set the building ablaze before he was taken out. Police warn that they could find other victims in the burned-down building. One victim is in critical condition, while seven others are in stable condition. The FBI has taken the lead on the case, which is being investigated as a targeted attack.
ICE: On Sunday night, per President Trump’s orders, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth mobilized 200 National Guardsmen to defend federal agents involved in the arrest and deportation of illegal criminals in Portland, Oregon.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Grant us all the grace and courage we need to proclaim You to the nation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
REVIVAL: Nearly 700 people were baptized during a Sunday service on Sept. 21 in Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, Texas. Senior pastor Josh Howerton said he had “never seen anything like today,” describing people sitting on the stairs with Bibles in their laps because every seat was full.
WAR ON DRUGS: On Monday, the Trump administration’s multi-agency drug task force announced it has seized a record-breaking one million pounds of cocaine. Drug cartels have lost about $11.34 billion in revenue and kept 377.9 million lethal doses off the streets.
GRAMMY NOTES: When my daughter was living in Army barracks, she and her fellow recruits decided they needed a way to take an occasional break from communal life. So they all bought sleep masks to wear when they needed to be left alone for a while.
